NC - Installment Agreement Request RO-1033

The North Carolina DOR now allows taxpayers to request an Installment Agreement online. Per the North Carolina DOR:

"If you have just filed a tax return, and cannot pay the tax due in full, you can use our website to make payments until you receive a Notice of Collection. An Installment Payment Agreement cannot be set up until a Notice of Collection has been mailed to you. 

• Upon receipt of a Notice of Collection, you should immediately request an Installment Payment Agreement to avoid forced collection action. Penalties, fees, and interest may be added to any balance not paid by the due date.
• NCDOR now uses DocuSign® to initiate Installment Payment Agreements.

The Form RO-1033 Installment Agreement Request may be completed via DocuSign® by using our website. Please keep in mind that this form is a request and there may be additional steps to confirm your agreement with NCDOR."

Note: If you submit an installment agreement request for your 2020 income tax liability, and you have not received a Notice of Collection from the North Carolina DOR, then your request will not be processed. See the North Carolina website for Installment Payment Agreements for more information.
